On the singular values of complex matrix Brownian motion with a matrix drift
Abstract
Let be the space of complex matrices. Let be Brownian motion on starting from the zero matrix and . We prove that, with , the eigenvalues of form a Markov process with an explicit transition kernel. This generalizes a classical result of Rogers and Pitman for multidimensional Brownian motion with drift which corresponds to . We then give two more descriptions for this Markov process. First, as independent squared Bessel diffusion processes in the wide sense, introduced by Watanabe and studied by Pitman and Yor, conditioned to never intersect. Second, as the distribution of the top row of interacting squared Bessel type diffusions in some interlacting array. The last two descriptions also extend to a general class of one-dimensional diffusions.

Improvements in presentation and some corrections following referee reports. To appear in Bernoulli. Due to the journal's paper length requirement the current version will be split into a main paper and a supplement which will include the proofs of intermediate results, Section 5 and Appendices A and B
